THE STORY BEHIND…

This baby toy lantern crafted from plastic gold comes with a heart-tipped wand, so no, it’s not a sex toy. The lantern spins and sings in kitschy style to market the attention of wild children. Zhang was amused by the neon, factory-made take on this traditional symbol and the hilarious toy transformation it has undergone. Better to play with this toy lantern than yourself.
